1950's Leather Gloves, hand-sewn

Description

This isn’t a typical BurdaStyle project, as it was all hand sewn. I found the pattern in one of my 1950’s magazines and used some leather I had in my stack. What a fun project! And I’m in ample time to perfect this for the next time winter comes around :-) For more information about the process, please visit my Blog Of Dreams And Seams

Well, since everything is hand-sewn, it’s very simple. I actually used different techniques on each glove and can’t tell what’s better. On the first, I folded the bias over the edge and took a catch-stitch from the bias tape on one side (right in the fold), stitched over to the other side, took a catch-stitch there and so on… On the second one, I sewed the bias tape to one side (right side from bias faces right side from glove, stitching back stitches right in the crease), then I sewed the bias tape to the other side, right into the stitches from the first seam… Hope that makes sense?
